Remember that Mother’s Day is Sunday May 14th. Make sure you make her day extra special.

A mother holds a special place in the hearts and minds of her children. Mother’s Day is May 14th and there is no better way to celebrate than with the whole family.

We’re sure sleeping in on Mother’s Day sounds nice and that having some alone time can make for an enjoyable day. But doesn’t it sound like a better idea to make this holiday a family day? We encourage you to get outside and spend some quality time with your kids and loved ones.

All the Staff at Messina would like to extend a warm Mother’s Day wish to all of our parents. Children will be making surprise Mother’s Day Gifts on May 12th.
